The Aeris Swopper is a classic among office stools. In addition to its iconic German design, the innovative Aeris 3D technology follows your movement in all 3 directions: forwards, sideways and vertically. Built to last with durable German engineering, with many users enjoying their Swoppers for 10–20 years.
The Aeris Swopper office stool promotes free movement of the body while sitting. You can breathe deeper which stimulates your circulation and metabolism. The chair cleverly engages your core and back in micro movements that helps you strengthen your body, improve posture, keep you alert and burn more calories. Just like that.
The Swopper chair’s unique ability to move up and down simulates the spine’s natural compression when walking or running. By sitting like this, your back muscles and intervertebral discs are kept nourished and fit - instead of collapsing on a backrest.

Frequently Asked Questions
To use the Aeris Swopper chair the right way you should sit on it properly. Position yourself in the center of the Aeris Swopper so that the spring strut functions as an extension of your spine. Maintain your balance with your buttocks and both feet placed on the floor. The pelvis should be slightly higher than the knees to create an "open angle" at the hips and knees when sitting. This promotes blood circulation.
Swing vigorously a few times to automatically straighten yourself up. This releases the diaphragm and promotes deep breathing. This improves the oxygen supply to the body and head improving mental performance. When you turn to your work with the Aeris Swopper, you can move the seat towards your desk by simply shifting your weight. This brings your body into a position where your spine is loose and vertical over your slightly tilted pelvis. This keeps your back straight and you automatically find the right sitting position.
Swopping strengthens the back muscles and promotes nutrition of the intervertebral discs. It also prevents blood congestion in the legs and makes you feel fit and active all day long. On the Aeris Swopper you automatically sit properly which prevents you from back pain.
Yes, sitting on the Aeris Swopper without a backrest is completely
natural and is beneficial. Just as we walk without needing back support, the
Swopper is designed to let your body do what it was meant to do while sitting:
move freely.
Traditional chairs work differently. Because they encourage long
periods of stillness, they require a backrest for support. But our muscles
aren’t built for hours of static sitting. This lack of movement leads to
tension, stiffness, and back pain. When a backrest does all the work, your
postural muscles gradually weaken, losing their ability to keep you upright and support your spine effectively.
On the Aeris Swopper, your back stays active and engaged,
promoting natural spinal alignment and strengthening the muscles that support
you throughout the day. If you experience occasional pinching or soreness as you get used to the Swopper, take it as a positive sign; those underused muscles are waking up again. When that happens, simply move and “swing” gently in all directions. This increases blood flow, activates the musculature,
and helps your body adapt.
Regular movement is one of the most effective ways to prevent back
pain and counter the effects of poor posture and the Swopper is designed to
make that movement effortless.
The original Aeris Swopper is designed exclusively for sitting in motion only, not for standing. The maximum height of the flexible strut is too low for supporting the user while standing. You can switch between sitting in the swopper and standing to ensure continuous movement throughout your day.
Sitting on the Aeris Swopper offers significant advantages over an
exercise ball. Unlike a ball, the Swopper provides true stability and
safety. It won’t roll away, burst, or cause you to lose your balance. It
also allows for personalized comfort, with quick, precise adjustments for seat
height, spring tension, and lateral movement.
The Swopper’s seat is designed for everyday use: comfortable,
non-slippery, temperature-neutral, and resistant to dust and odors. While
exercise balls are typically made of PVC, the Swopper is crafted from
high-quality, durable materials and is made in Germany to the highest
manufacturing standards.
With its unique, award-winning design, the Aeris Swopper
integrates seamlessly into home and office interiors, offering both
functionality and style that far surpass the simplicity of an exercise ball.
